This is my first post here. I quite fancied the idea of making a custom boot animation for my Nexus One. Since then, a few mates have asked if they can have it, so I thought I'd post it here.
I don't really want to put together a .gif as I made each section of the animation separately, so it'd take me too long, but there's a video on YouTube if you search "Nexus One Pro" (I'm a noob, so not allowed to post external links yet)
There's also a 320x480 version on my site for Hero users etc, though I've not tried it on anything other than my N1. I'll come back when I'm beyond padawan status and post the link for that one!
Hoipe you like, any feedback, let me know
Of course you'll need root to install, use a command prompt and go to the tools folder of your Android SDK, (where you should place the bootanimation.zip file) while in USB debugging mode. Type:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
press enter, let it do it's thing, then reset your phone
EDIT: Thanks to Treatcon for making this gif to demo the boot animation:

@Amritttt - I'm not sure how much you already know, so here it is broken down...
1. You'll need to root your phone first. Won't go into that as there are plenty of instructions about.
2. Install the android SDK to your pc at c:\AndroidSDK
3. Save the bootanimation.zip file inside the folder c:\AndroidSDK\tools. (If you download more than one bootanimation to the same folder, your pc may change it to something like bootanimation(1).zip - you need to delete the (1)!)
Connect your phone and enable USB debugging.
Open a command window (on Windows just push start and type "cmd").
Navigate to the SDK tools folder by typing:
cd c:\androidsdk\tools
press enter
4. Check your device is recognised, by typing:
adb devices
press enter
5. Copy over the bootanimation by typing:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
6. Finally, reset your phone, and it should be there
Nice work, looks great

I push it to /system/media
and with "reset" you mean restart
Btw I have a request! I would like to have a bootanimation with the arrows only like you see in the video at 0:37
only the arrows, without android on top of it
Is it possible for you to do that?

Sure, do you mean leave "Android" out for the whole thing, or just when the arrows are raining down? (i.e. do you want it to show "Android" at the end when the X comes across just after the arrow rain?)

You could also use a root explorer to move it there manually, if you don't like using ADB.

Very nice work on the boot animation. I just tossed it into a gif for you.

Basic explanation of this bootanimation. Part0, first part of boot animation starts with N E X U S O N E being spelled out top and bottom, then flying multiple N E X U S O N E letters move from outside to inside being consumed by the "fire" in the middle. Then NEXUS ONE is morphed and twisted into the Image you see below. Second part is Red Flame edition of standard bootanimation. Refined this quite a bit to get the colors to really pop off on the N1 screen.
Enjoy.
bootanimation.zip push to /system/media and reboot

Why not just put it in /data/local the boot animation binary looks there first and you don't have to remove your old boot animation.
either/or good point.

How would I go about pushing the file? I have the option to unzip but it saves it on the SD card. Am I doing something wrong?

I second this as I referred to this forum as to where to delete my custom boot animation from and ended up deleting the original one, (and the entire media folder.... i was drunk) but pushed it all back with the latest update (unzip vanilla update.zip and extract /system/media then in the same folder in cmd go: adb push media /system/media)
What`s with the blue version?
Is there anyway to create a ZIP file that will work as upgrade to add the bootanimation? I'm at work, without my microsd cable... Would like to just download from dropbox.
honestly.. when i saw the screenshot i just thought "ugly...".. then i installed it cause my current boot animation is worse lol
now.. i think: Awesome! Great work, really, looks perfect.
so, some fine work being done up the android theme thread...
i saw this , and thought i would share it, and tell you guys how i finally managed to get it to work.... i got his copy of the nexus one boot animation, because it's the same resolution as our phones. i unzipped the download, and put the bootanimation.zip (NOT extracted) into my sdk tools folder.
if you even want to consider putting the old one back on, it would be wise to pull it first, then rename it something. the original sprint splash is located at /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
adb reboot recovery
*run custom recovery utility*
adb shell
# mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
# rm /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
# exit
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
yes, you have to get rid of the copy in /system/customize/resource first, and if you just put the new one there, for some reason it doesn't work.
probably the same instructions for any boot animation you want. only in the future you could probably just do the adb push to /system/media, since you will have already have erased the interfering sprint splash.

what do you mean you're in a windowed mode? if you got any version other than the nexus version, the resolution is too small, and it probably won't fill the screen.
the nexus version should work just fine. just make sure you pull the bootanimation.zip out of the the download.
if it doesn't work, try downloading again. i had a problem originally, and i think that it may have just been a bad download or something
btw, i guess i missed this thread which details the whole process. my bad.

Anyone with a batch image re-sizer feel like scaling this to 480x800? It looks OK at this resolution but would look much nicer at EVO size.
here is my version of the incredible boot animation.
i made it "HTC Evo 4G" instead of "incredible" and made a green version of it also.
i attached the files.

I tried the red one, but it just shows from Droid. Doesn't show the little green robot with your modified HTC EVO 4G. =[ Just starts from Droid.
Now that we have Root and the amazing recovery tool... I decided it was time to test things out. No we dont have MetaMorph, but until then... The "old fashioned" way will work. I pulled the framework, made a quick modification to the BATTERY icons and pushed it back... and BAM!! Blue battery!
So far i see no adverse effects... so i will be pushing my fully themed Framework-res.apk to my INC later this evening. Proof? See pic...with BLUE battery! Thats just the start of my theme!

All the images are located within framework-res.apk, But there are several other places that you can edit xmls to make further changes. you can extract them directly from there, and replace them using 7zip without need to sign the apk. The most common are found in /res/drawable hdpi/
Before experimenting i would suggest reading up on Patch 9 files. Those require more than just editing the png.

To my knowledge that requires editing the Services.jar file. There are scripts out there for editing this file, but the short answer for now is NO. (unless you're a java guru)

2. push framework-res.apk file to root of sdcard
3. boot phone into recovery

no need to push file to SDCard though, or use busybox cp

Having a lil trouble....
Ok so i managed to edit almost everything in framework, (still working on the.9.pngs, they take sooo much time)..... But im having an issue...
Hopefully some one here can help me solve this. Unlike the moto, i cant seem to get the signal meter, or the 3g/1x/etc icon to change. all other icons are acting as they should but these stay the same. Ive re-copied them, and pushed the apk 3 times...

How-to Enter fastboot mode .... While the phone is off hold down "Volume down key" and then "power button" hold both till you get a white screen with the androids and skateboards
to confirm your device is seen by adb use this command
Code:
fastboot devices
you should see your phone listed under the command you just typed. After that type the next command to flash the splash image
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.nb
Then you should see that it was successful and rebbot the phone and preview your new image by typing
Code:
fastboot reboot
Please Thank and post comments as needed, if there is any trouble i'll try to help if i can i'm rather busy lately...lol
There was a huge thread on how to change splash with win 7 and I am stuck in osx thanks for a tut on how to to it in fastboot
Thanks! I followed the instructions and applied it no problem. Makes booting up look seamless with Fresh's bootscreen
So I have been having nothing but problems with Sync, so have rooted, flashed and changed boot image by using a root file manager (which all have worked fine).
Where on the EVO is the splash screen logo located, so I can just manually apply it?
Thank you

I'm 99.9% sure that this image cannot be simply replaced in a folder but must be flashed, at least that's how it was for winmo
If you think about it this is where the carrier brands the phone the most, im pretty positive this is flashed to a specific partition
Am I missing something? I do everything step by step and it won't find fastboot command in the terminal (using OS X). I can't do anything.

Hmm that's too bad. My Vista sees my EVO, but it has an exclamation mark and the driver won't initialize no matter what I try.
Guess I'll wait till some other time then

Is there a way to flash from the EVO itself? I can copy files with no problem if I connect as a HDD.
add this file to the tools folder of android sdk or i think in OS x anywhere works as long as you direct the command line to it

From what I gather a lot of people have this issue with Vista 32bit and HTC Sync. I haven't been able to track down a solution. Even when trying to use Sync..it always just errors and says:
Unable to find HTC Sync on your PC. Please make sure.....
Kind of a pain, but so far I have been able to do everyting I want just doing it from the phone with files copied over. Using the terminal emu or file manager

Thank you!
This is the Hero section and Hero is an Android phone.
I guess I'm not the only one that took a guess at what was wanted.
Doesn't mean I got it wrong or that you got it right. Your comment was not necessary.
Not sure who the thank you was for or who got it right.
Just trying to help out.

First off, I'm assuming you are replying to me. If you aren't, ignore this post.
He said "stock android wallpapers". Pretty simple. HTC's wallpapers obviously aren't stock android wallpaper. It was very clear on what he wanted.
As you can see by my post count I don't post that much here and since I was just trying to help out with what I thought he asked for, I shouldn't be treated like a troll or talked down to.
I don't care how many post you've had, you need to show more respect for others.

Where did I mention how many posts I have? Where did I mention anything about post counts? You brought it up, not me.
All I said was that those weren't the stock android wallpapers. They weren't the stock android wallpapers. Simple as that.
Haha this is kinda entertaining

If you're running CyanogenMod and Clockwork Recovery, and you're looking for the stock HTC Sense and Vanilla AOSP Android wallpapers, I created a modified version of CMWallpapers.apk that replaces all the CyanogenMod wallpapers. They're not in any particular order, but they should all be there. I had one slot left over after adding the stock wallpapers, so I included the default 640x480 wallpaper from an old Desktop OS as a bonus.
To install, you can flash the attached zip file from recovery, which will overwrite the existing CMWallpapers.apk.
If that doesn't work, or you want to install manually, assuming you are using CyanogenMod and ClockworkMod Recovery and you have adb installed, follow the instructions below:
Extract CMWallpapers.apk from the \system\app directory of the attached zip file.
Reboot into recovery: plug in your phone and open a command window. In it type adb shell reboot recovery and hit enter
Once your phone reboots into ClockworkMod, in the command window on your computer, navigate to the directory that the CMWallpapers.apk from the attached zip file was extracted to.
Enter the following commands in the command window, hitting enter after each one:
adb mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/CMWallpapers.apk
adb push CMWallpapers.apk /system/app
adb reboot
When your phone reboots, if you go to the wallpaper menu and select "CyanogenMod Wallpapers", you should now see a gallery with the stock AOSP Android and HTC Sense wallpapers.
